This thread covers the growing mass-protests that just erupted in Iran against the Islamic regime

We’ll delve into the economic reasons behind them, the influence of the 12-Day-War with Israel and why Crown Prince @pahlavireza’s return could get Iran back on track

Major protests and strikes have reignited in Iran.

Shopkeepers in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar and central commercial districts closed their businesses yesterday in response to the sharp decline of the Iranian rial.

🧵 2/27
The protests began with strikes in markets such as the iron market, Shoush home appliances market, Charsou mall, and mobile phone trading centers in Tehran.

Merchants gathered outside closed shops to demonstrate against worsening economic conditions.

This thread delves into how Hamas is regularly breaking the provisions of the ceasefire agreement with Israel, which was mediated by the US, Egypt & Qatar.

Key terms included an immediate halt to all hostilities.

Despite this, Hamas has repeatedly attacked the IDF

🧵 1/25 Image
Under the ceasefire, Hamas agreed to full compliance with the halt in fighting to build trust for subsequent phases, including hostage releases and aid surges.

The US-brokered terms explicitly ban rocket fire, gunfire, or any offensive operations by Hamas militants. Violations undermine the agreement’s core objective of de-escalation.

Since October 10, 2025, documented incidents show Hamas fighters initiating combat in violation of these prohibitions, targeting IDF positions east of the yellow line.

This pattern indicates systematic non-adherence to the no-hostilities provision.

🧵 2/25Image
The agreement’s security annex, coordinated via Qatari and Egyptian channels, requires Hamas to prevent militant incursions into Israeli-held areas.

It stipulates that any such action constitutes a breach, triggering mediator reviews. Hamas pledged oversight of its forces to ensure zero violations.

However, reports from IDF monitoring confirm multiple unauthorized crossings by armed groups under Hamas command, leading to firefights.

These actions directly contravene the territorial integrity clauses designed to maintain separation during the truce.

The new U.S. sanctions are hitting Russia harder than expected, draining billions from Putin’s war budget, crippling Rosneft and Lukoil, and even forcing Serbia and Bulgaria to push Moscow out of their energy sectors.

Eastern Europe is slipping from Putin’s grip, and the Kremlin is scrambling to contain the fallout.

🧵 1/25Image
This thread is about how Putin is rapidly losing influence in Eastern Europe, and why these sanctions may be the biggest blow yet.

Even as Donald Trump floats the idea of a peace deal, Washington's new sanctions package just delivered a major financial blow to Russia's war machine.

🧵 2/25Image
By targeting Rosneft and Lukoil, the U.S. drained billions from the Kremlin's coffers and triggered a new financial crisis for Moscow.
